Why I Started Using Screens At Mealtime
When it was just the 3 of us… When I first became a mom, I wanted to do everything by the book. But of course, like a naive new parent, I realized quickly that guidelines are merely guidelines and not meant to be followed to a T. Things don't always go as expected. I thought I would never co-sleep, never do formula, never yell, never swear, never bribe, never lie…
